Free re-specs for games in beta are customary.
people are testing skills and builds for you and providing feedback. as an open beta tester, i would like to request the same freedom to fine tune this game other companies provide.
thank you.

With this being a Open Beta/ "soft Launch" It is not being considered in the heavy testing stage anymore. I have seen the changes from Alpha to Closed Beta to this and I dont remember a free respec.
Closed Beta tester get the re-specs.
Want to know why Neverwinter is so laggy? Check out the "Latency" section in this thread.
it still wouldn't be a bad idea, allods for example gives on per char, so if you roll lets say a guardian, you can go dps for levelling, but save your respec for changing to a full tanking build later, or in case you made a mistake. they also gave em after major class up dates, i think they still had a steady revenue for them in the cash shop, so thats not an issue.
Oh wait...
NWO does not.
Exactly.

I asked something similar in another thread. As there's only currently one paragon path, at least for GF, we're pretty much forced down that one. To add others later and then to charge zen to respec would be a bit lame. The best thing they could do would be to give out a respec token or simply reset them for everyone and people can respend the points how they want.
Agreed, it is very handy to switch between builds for different things,
like having different builds for dungeons and regular pve, for example;
it makes trying new things/builds flexable and fun
Ahh well,
I suppose that the respecing system here is probably not going to change,
since if they stopped charging zen for it, the people who bought repecs with zen will feel cheated
some here are missing the point.
That being said, I don't think the current respec cost is reasonable.
Support the game for continued improvements.
Exactly, nothing is free.
It takes a week, maby less (one guy did it in 2 days) to max level a character. If you are sick of the quests, then do foundry. Yes, it takes longer that way, but still not months upon months. I can understand that you might not want to. And I can see an argument for a 1 respec token. But beyond that is just childish entitlement.
I am sorry if that last bit offended you, but you can call your horse an aligator, but it is still going to be a donkey.
You basically have no need to even respec, put 1 point in everything, the skills that are completely useless(everyclass has them), dont put points into, then pick and chose alittle, you really have NO reason to ever respec.
You "MAY" need to respec feats, but you can spend AD for those.
I do support being able to respec for gold, say 5gold type thing.
Wait.. what?? Your argument against a free respec is that we can just START OVER every time we want to respec? Wow. And to top that off maybe you didn't notice but we only get 2 character slots so basically it's delete character and start over every time. Hopefully you were joking because otherwise I don't know what else to say to that.
From your last remark I feel you missed my point. What I meant was there is no reason for free respecs because this is not a beta anymore, not really.
I don't think asking for a feature so essential to be reasonably priced is entitlement, playing non-dps characters I usually respec 3 or 4 times a day in most games.
Paying 5 bucks for each respec is ludicrous, least they could do is make the respec token a reusable item with a cooldown for that price.
~And if u spam it every half an hour then increase the price exponentially with zen or w/e.
Lold at guy saying make new char for every spec.. if ur already testing why would u need to lvl again just to try a spec, nvm having to be forced to pay for additional slots, cos u cant really test anything without paying 200$.
Though it's thier game but kinda a deal breaker for me.
Yes please, the first thing this game is at least not free but cheap respec and more classes. Respec shouldnt be like 7 euros per point, its preposterous.
1) It would be unfair to expect people to pay for respecs during 'open beta', if Cryptic make changes to paths / feats.
2) I suggest the use of celestial coins for buying respecs - make it 7 coins or similar so people are committed to a week's worth of logging in before they can buy one. Whilst I don't agree with it, I think a currency that vanishes if you don't keep it going is a great lure to keep people playing, especially if they utilise it by providing rare / exclusive items with it.
It's unreal that they want you to pay for basic features of any game.
You should not have to pay real money for :
Bags , Respec , rez scroll , Best potion.
That's just absurd unless they change this. You will have a bad time playing this game for free.
You either cash out a few hundred bucks or stay behind everyone else.
MMOs are just riddled with greed. Look at WoW 15 bucks a month but they have a cash shop that people use to buy mounts and pets which should be obtainable in a game you pay monthly for.
The gaming industry is nothing but crooks anymore
During beta weekend 2 and 3 I made it to 50 without anything from the shop. And I didn't have a "bad time" with it at all other than inventory space was a bit cramped. So I didn't have a fancy mount or companion big deal.. I didn't feel "behind everyone else" whatever that means.
Respec for $5 though not to fond of. Especially with PVP. They should really at least have a two spec system people can use for PVE and PVP.
If you need a re-spec, it's your fault you didn't prepare and do your research. At least they offer you the chance to buy respec tokens!
Some games (PoE) where it's even more 'planning ahead', you don't get to respec at all.
